I do look forward to working with the immensely talented and exciting group of cricketers that are involved with this team. I also want to assist with the overall development of the young Guyana cricketers who will be part of the squad for CPL 2015. It will be remiss of me if I didn’t express my sincere thanks and appreciation to Dr. Ranjisinghi ‘Bobby’ Ramroop, Franchise Owner of the Guyana Amazon Warriors for providing me with this opportunity.”</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Mr. Omar Khan, Team Operations Manager of the Guyana Amazon Warriors has expressed his full support on the appointment of Carl Hooper saying “Carl brings a wealth of experience and skills to our team and I am confident that he will be a great motivator and use all of his expertise to bring the best out of all the players in their performances so as to contribute to the team winning the tournament this year in what promises to be a much more hyped-up and high profile 2015 CPL.”</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Caribbean Premier League Media Release.</span></span></strong></p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-date2 field-type-date field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Date:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><span class="date-display-single">Fri, 01/16/2015 - 11:06</span></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-category field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above clearfix"><h3 class="field-label">Category: </h3><ul class="links"><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-0"><a href="/news/caribbean-premier-league" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Caribbean Premier League</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-1"><a href="/news/guyana-cricket" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Guyana Cricket</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-field-publish-home field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Publish On Home:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Yes</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-blurb field-type-text-long field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Blurb:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">The Management/Ownership Team of the Guyana Amazon Warriors Franchise is pleased to announce the appointment of former outstanding West Indies and Guyana cricketer, Carl Hooper as the Head Coach of the Guyana Amazon Warriors Team for the 2015 edition of the Caribbean Premier League.</div></div></div>Fri, 16 Jan 2015 15:15:00 +0000ikhan17642 at http://www.windiescricket.comhttp://www.windiescricket.com/news/hooper-named-amazon-warriors-coach#commentsJamaica seeking Tallawahs permissionhttp://www.windiescricket.com/news/jamaica-seeking-tallawahs-permission

The 74-year-old, who is a former St Lucia Foreign Minister, said his greatest joy was being on hand to see the West Indies team win the ICC World T20 trophy in Sri Lanka in October, 2012.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">“I have a love for cricket – cricket at all levels from the grassroots level to the international level.

Glenn Phillip says.</strong></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">“Nine days after the CPL is completed, we will be hosting Bangladesh vs the West Indies on the 25th and 27th of August which makes St. Kitts as the only territory in a very long time to host 11 international games right here,” said Phillip at the recent Conversations for Progress town hall meeting in St. Peter’s.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">He told participants that in early September, St. Kitts will host the female West Indies team here. New Zealand vs West Indies Women will be played here in September of this year. A request was made for St. Kitts to be used for England’s tour to the West Indies in 2015 for them to get acclimatised to the Caribbean.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">“They will be here for 10 to 15 days to practice before they start their test series in the Caribbean and the good thing about it is that they will be playing against a St. Kitts select squad during the training.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">On the CPL already underway, Mr. Phillip ask, “What has your government done so correctly that it could secure these games in a most competitive environment where there are many grounds that would have been seen as ideally suited to host these big games?”</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">“First, we have benefitted from the improvement of sporting, accommodation and infrastructure done between 1995 and the present. The grounds at Warner Park which were renovated, successfully hosted games of the 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup and is now seen regionally as the most spectator friendly and one of the best to host T-20 games which naturally have a party type atmosphere.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Added to that, Warner Park now has the best lighting in the region suitable for night games. Our investment in 3700 lucks of light makes play in the night as natural as playing in the day. And if I have to give you a little perspective, the International for lights is 2300 lucks, not to bore you with the lighting parameters, but to look at the numbers, the International Standard is 2300 lucks and St. Kitts has 3700 lucks of lights,” said Mr. Phillip, who is also Minister of Youth Empowerment and Information and Communications Technology.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">He said St. Kitts’ Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport has an airlift capacity that gets regional and international patrons of the game to St. Kitts and back home hassle free. “This is where the collaboration with the Ministries of Tourism and International Trade has been most beneficial.”</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Minister Phillip also explained that St. Kitts and Nevis also has a track record of delivering.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">“In 2000, we hosted CARIFESTA, it was a success. In 2007, we hosted the Orange Package Game of the ICC Cricket World Cup that too was a success. Then in 2010, we hosted some matches in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup Games and they too were successful. In each case we have proven that we deliver and deliver well, therefore, the benefits of these CPL games will be great for vendors and all spectators. However, we believe that there must be on-going, long-term benefits for our nation and we are discussing those issues at this moment with the CPL,” said Minister Phillip.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">He said that government through the Ministry of Sport has negotiated 5 minutes of media time each CPL match day to promote the tourism product of St. Kitts and Nevis to an estimated viewership of 72 million people around the world.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">“This kind of marketing of St. Kitts and Nevis is something we could never budget for and it is an advantage we must seek to maximise,” he said.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">“During these days, we must seek to promote Mr. Carl Tucket of Nevis and Mr. Wycliffe Mitcham of St. Kitts who will be umpires in some of the games to be played here in St. Kitts. This opportunity will be their exposure as umpires on such a grand scale and their advancement is a great potential benefit for the promotion of our Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis,” said Minister Phillip.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">The additional benefit of the CPL is to see international greats and stars like Brian Lara, Ian Botham, former anchor-man of CNN Peir Morgan play a ‘Celebrity Beefy Bash’ game alongside our local legends like Stuart Williams, Luther Kelly and Livingstone Harris.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">First Published By The St Kitts Office Of The Prime Minister.</span></span></strong></p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-date2 field-type-date field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Date:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><span class="date-display-single">Fri, 08/08/2014 - 16:12</span></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-category field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above clearfix"><h3 class="field-label">Category: </h3><ul class="links"><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-0"><a href="/news/caribbean-premier-league" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Caribbean Premier League</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-1"><a href="/news/windies-mens-team" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Windies Mens Team</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-2"><a href="/news/leewards-cricket" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Leewards Cricket</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-field-publish-home field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Publish On Home:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Yes</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-blurb field-type-text-long field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Blurb:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">The Federation’s Warner Park Cricket Stadium will have hosted 11 international cricket matches during the month of August, St. Kitts and Nevis’ Minister of Sports, the Hon.

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #008000;">Jamaica Gleaner article.</span></span></span></em></strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Kingston, Jamaica - Money to be allocated to the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) from the Caribbean Premier League, an annual contribution of US$360,000, will, according to board President Dave Cameron, boost the pace of the professionalisation of first-class cricket in the region, and initiate a shift from the way things are done currently.</span></span></strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">It is a position supported by West Indies Players Association (WIPA) President and CEO Wavell Hinds.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">The move to professionalise West Indies first-class cricket was announced in March following a meeting of the board, and forms part of a 19-point plan to raise the quality of first-class cricket in the region. In addition to the Test players already contracted by the WICB, 15 first-class players from each of the six territories will be contracted on a full-time, year-round basis.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">This development, however, does not mean that the West Indies will turn its back on grassroots players.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">SHIFTING FOCUS</span></span></strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">"We have 151,000 kids playing grass-roots cricket across the region. That's a huge number, but we haven't been able to translate that into winning Test matches and one-day internationals, so we now have to focus a little bit on performance," the WICB president said. "We are not going to take our foot off the development and getting kids in the game, but obviously, if you are more successful, then kids will gravitate towards the sport.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">"But, in my view, we have been a little too focused on the development side rather than performance, so we have shifted gears. Now our HPC team will be our 'A' team, always ready to get into action, and that means we will now have 30 players who you can call your senior team. That's a big difference from what we had before. And then, backing that up, the other 70 or 80 players that will be on contract throughout the region, so it's a huge step for us."</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">The money from the CPL will represent a significant portion of the sum that the WICB will allocate towards the new thrust, Cameron said, and this will allow for players to spend more time focused on developing their skills, which, in turn, will benefit regional cricket.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Cameron estimates that it will cost the board about US$2 million. That money, divided among the 80 players, represents a significant boost to their annual earnings, and in addition to the US$1,300 each will receive for each four-day game and US$750 for each one day game, and earnings from the CPL, the players should be able to live off their cricket earnings alone.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">"You will have players, my guess, earning in the region of US$20,000 a year," Cameron said. "That is a good entry level for any cricketer. That will keep them interested in the game, keep them working harder, and have them striving to be getting into the senior team."</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">NEW APPROACH</span></span></strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">This will now require some adjustments from the players and their approach to their careers.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">"What we're saying now is that you need to come to work five days a week being a cricketer, not having jobs on the side and only turning up when there is a camp," Cameron said.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">"Players obviously need to go to their place of work, so in the case of the Windward Islands, we need to determine which island will be the centre, and all the players will have to move there, because they need to turn up for work. They need to be monitored because we are not just talking about batting and bowling stats, we're talking about physical fitness as well, and those things will have to be monitored all the way through."</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hinds believes that under the new paradigm, players will have to work harder, but, in return, will have greater financial security.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">"We are appreciative that that US$360,000 will go into the pool of six to get the cricket professionalised so that our youngsters and our cricketers can understand what it means to be a professional from the territorial level.

In spite of his chastening experience against Australian fast bowler, Brett Lee, over Christmas, Piers Morgan was the first to volunteer, and has been snapped up by fellow Englishman, Botham.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sir Ian Botham said: 'I know how important cricket is to everyone in the Caribbean, and CPL has done a lot to reignite the region’s love for the game. St Kitts is an amazing island of rare beauty, full of wonderful people, and I’m excited to give something back to the country through this charity match, as well as getting the chance to watch the closing stages of the CPL.'</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Piers Morgan commented; 'As soon as I got the call from Beefy, I knew this was something I wanted to be involved in. I¹m a huge fan of cricket and I love the Caribbean, so a chance to play in this special game and get involved with the Biggest Party in Sport was too good an opportunity to miss. I¹ve already asked Brett Lee to join in, but this time playing WITH me - not breaking my ribs!'&nbsp;</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Brian Lara added; 'I’ve seen first-hand the impact CPL has had on the region. Players and fans love it, it’s great for our up and coming talent, and it provides an economic boost as well. I’ve always believed in the importance of giving back to the Caribbean, and this match will be a great way to do that. It’s going to be fun to play with and against some old friends and reignite some old rivalries, and I’ve already been contacted by plenty of fast bowlers keen to have a bowl at Piers!'</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Damien O’Donohoe, CEO of the Limacol Caribbean Premier League said; 'It was no surprise when Beefy got in touch about the game. The CPL is the Biggest Party in Sport and as a result, we’re naturally attracting some of the leading names in sport and entertainment. Beefy’s Bash is set to be a remarkable highlight of finals week in St. Kitts and expect some more big names to be announced in the coming weeks.'</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">The game will add spice to what promises to be a thrilling finals week in St. Kitts, ensuring that the CPL lives up to its reputation as the Biggest Party in Sport.

This will allow for 90 First Class players to be annually contracted joining those contracted under WICB Annual Retainer Contracts.&nbsp;</span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">“The professionalization of First Class cricket in the Caribbean is long overdue and finally we have taken a firm decision to realize this. It will be a most costly venture but one which is absolutely necessary for West Indies cricket to move forward. We are exceedingly grateful to the CPL for this significant commitment towards the funding of these annual First Class contracts,” WICB CEO Michael Muirhead said.</span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">CEO of the CPL, Damien O’Donohoe praised the development. “A fundamental part of CPL is securing the future of cricket in the Caribbean by creating a platform for the next generation of stars to showcase their talent to a global audience. Our partners at WICB are working towards getting West Indies cricket back to the top across all forms of the game and we at CPL will endeavour to play our part in that mission. The WICB approached us with this new vision, and following discussions with President (Dave) Cameron and Director of Cricket, Richard Pybus, we didn’t hesitate to embrace it,” he said.</span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">West Indies Players Association (WIPA) President and CEO Wavell Hinds, was also positive about the development. “WIPA welcomes the contribution of the CPL to this programme, and we have also played a pivotal role in the process of bringing the professionalization of the first class game in the region closer to reality. Our members voted unanimously at our last AGM to support the initiative, and agreed to take the steps asked of them to make it happen. We see it as a great opportunity for a broader base of our membership to earn a living from the game,” said Hinds.</span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Under the new Professional First Class structure the contracts will see players being part of a First Class Franchise system, the details of which will be made public shortly.</span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">WICB Media Release.</span></span></span></strong></p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-date2 field-type-date field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Date:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><span class="date-display-single">Tue, 05/13/2014 - 10:20</span></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-category field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above clearfix"><h3 class="field-label">Category: </h3><ul class="links"><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-0"><a href="/news/caribbean-premier-league" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Caribbean Premier League</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-1"><a href="/news/regional-4-day" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Regional 4-Day</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-2"><a href="/news/trinidad-cricket" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Trinidad Cricket</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-3"><a href="/news/barbados-cricket" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Barbados Cricket</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-4"><a href="/news/guyana-cricket" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Guyana Cricket</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-5"><a href="/news/jamaica-cricket" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Jamaica Cricket</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-6"><a href="/news/leewards-cricket" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Leewards Cricket</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-7"><a href="/news/windwards-cricket" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Windwards Cricket</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-8"><a href="/news/college-cricket-ccc" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">College Cricket (CCC)</a></li><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-9"><a href="/news/wicb" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">WICB</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-field-publish-home field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Publish On Home:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Yes</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-blurb field-type-text-long field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Blurb:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">The West Indies Cricket Board announced today that a critical funding component for the professionalization of First Class cricket will be provided by the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) which will contribute US$360,000 towards the annual retainer contracts for First Class players.</div></div></div>Tue, 13 May 2014 14:25:48 +0000ikhan14768 at http://www.windiescricket.comhttp://www.windiescricket.com/news/cpl-fund-local-first-class-contracts#commentsWICB Vacancy: Human Resources Officerhttp://www.windiescricket.com/news/wicb-vacancy-human-resources-officer-8

Grenada, known for its vibrant culture and hospitality, will serve as the opening venue to showcase the region’s most exciting domestic Twenty20 tournament. Global stars including Chris Gayle, Dwayne Bravo, Kevin Pietersen and Muttiah Muralitharan will take part in the “Biggest Party in Sport”.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>The Honourable Emmalin Pierre, Minister for Youth, Sports and Religious Affairs of Grenada, said</strong>: “Grenada is delighted to host the opening of the 2014 Limacol Caribbean Premier League, and we’re looking forward to showing off “Pure Grenada” to the world. Grenadians are a sociable, welcoming and fun-loving people so it’s going to be a fantastic occasion – on and off the pitch – and we’re going to make sure the CPL feels right at home on the Spice Isle.”</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Damien O’Donohoe, CEO of the CPL, commented</strong>; “We are absolutely delighted to have Grenada on board to host the thrilling CPL opening matches. After an incredible inaugural year that surpassed all expectations, cricket fans all over the world are looking forward to another exciting tournament. The players and fans are expecting a high calibre event and we feel that we are in safe hands with our partners in Grenada. The beauty of this island is matched only by the hospitality of its people and so we are looking forward to sharing that with the international audience. We’re delighted to welcome Grenada to the CPL family.”&nbsp;</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>WICB President, Whycliffe 'Dave' Cameron</strong>, congratulated Grenada on being chosen to host the opening of the Limacol CPL and spoke of his excitement for all the action that awaits fans in July and August, saying; "The 2014 staging of the Limacol CPL should be no less exciting than the inaugural edition and we know the kind of atmosphere this version of the game can generate. We are keen on the partnership with the CPL and we anticipate fierce rivalry among the teams again this season."</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">The National Cricket Stadium, which has hosted several West Indies matches since 2002, as well as six matches at the 2007 World Cup, boasts fantastic playing facilities and will hold the biggest Limacol CPL crowd ever, with room for a massive 16,200 fans each day.&nbsp;</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Action begins on Friday 11th July, when some of the world’s most prolific batsmen, skillful bowlers and athletic fielders take centre stage. With carnival cricket fever building for the first match of the tournament, no one will be disappointed by the opportunity to see last year’s runners-up, the Guyana Amazon Warriors, take on the Antigua Hawksbills, with two of the world’s finest spinners, Sunil Narine and Saeed Ajmal, going head-to-head.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">The action and party fever continues into Saturday’s game, which will see Dwayne Bravo’s Trinidad and Tobago Red Steel take on the Barbados Tridents, captained by Kieron Pollard. Mentors and legendary West Indies openers, Gordon Greenidge (Red Steel) and Desmond Haynes (Tridents), will be looking to put their friendship aside as last year’s two beaten semi-finalists seek to get their 2014 campaign off to a winning start.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sunday will see Chris Gayle’s Jamaica Tallawahs starting the defence of its Limacol CPL crown on the final day of the opening round of matches. Standing in their way will be a St. Lucia Zouks team, masterminded by head coach, Matthew Maynard, and set to feature West Indies T20 captain, Darren Sammy and Grenada’s own Andre Fletcher, who will be backed by fanatical local support.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Information about tickets for the three opening games of the CPL 2014 will be announced in the near future.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://cplt20.com/news/grenada-scores-opening-games-limacol-cpl-2014">Caribbean Premier League article.</a></span></span></strong></p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-date2 field-type-date field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Date:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><span class="date-display-single">Sun, 05/11/2014 - 06:05</span></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-category field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above clearfix"><h3 class="field-label">Category: </h3><ul class="links"><li class="taxonomy-term-reference-0"><a href="/news/caribbean-premier-league" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Caribbean Premier League</a></li></ul></div><div class="field field-name-field-publish-home field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Publish On Home:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Yes</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-blurb field-type-text-long field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Blurb:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Carnival cricket fever hits the beautiful island of Grenada with the announcement that the National Cricket Stadium will host the launch and opening round of games of the 2014 Limacol Caribbean Premier League (CPL), from Friday 11th July, with all six teams in action over the first weekend.</div></div></div>Sun, 11 May 2014 10:11:05 +0000ikhan14728 at http://www.windiescricket.comhttp://www.windiescricket.com/news/spice-isle-grenada-open-cpl-t20-2014#commentsWICB Vacancy: Human Resources Officerhttp://www.windiescricket.com/news/wicb-vacancy-human-resources-officer-6
